Sonrce* of Fertilizing Materials.
Question. Please give me a few
hints on fertilizers and the best way to
select them. I must confess to de
plorable ignorance on this important
subject, and often I am confused by the
multiplicity of terms used in designating
the different plant foods. I have al
most decided to try mixing my fertil
izers at home, but am somewhat at a
loss as to the best brands to buy for the
purpose. Would I ruu any risk in buy
ing the concentrated materials, or are
they of uniform value as to contents
and availability? In buying the fertil
izers already mixed is there any sure
way by which I can at least partially
judge of their merits?
Answer. —It is the law of Goorgia
that each manufacturer register with
the State Department of Agriculture
the sources from which his nitrogen is
derived. This has a more important
bearing on our success or failure with
different crops than most farmers are
aware. Before purchasing any com
mercial fertilizers farmers should cans
fully inform themselves as to the sources
from which the three principal fertil
izing elements contained in them aro
derived and their availability for the
different crops to be grown. The fol
lowing important facts are condensed
from a valuable bulletin by Profess >r
Vorhees, and we trust are in such form
as to arrest th ■ attention of thinking
farmers, and also aid them in selecting
the best and most suitable materials for
the various crops to which they are to
be applied:
SOURCES OF NITROGEN.
A! 1 materials containing organic ni
trogen must undergo a change before
tiie nitrogen becomes available as plant
fool and the timo needed for this
change varies with circumstances. The
material may be hard an i dense, or the
treatment it has received may delay the
natural decay, or it may bo associated
with other substance- which tend
to prevent the necessary changes. This
causes organic nitrogen to differ in its
degree of availability, not only from
the material, which furnishes it, but
from the treatment that material has
received. The most valuable sources of
organic nitrogen aro dried blood, dried
meat, concentrated tankage, dried fish,
refuse from fish oil and canning estab
lishments and cottonseed meal. These
products also furnish more or less phos
phoric acid.
Other materials which are less desira
ble as sources of nitrogen, are leather
meal, lioru and hoof meal, wool waste,
felt waste, etc. These decay so slowly
that they are of doubtful value unless
the object is to gradually increase the
fertility of the soil rather than to secure
immediate returns. Commercial nitro
gen in th> form of sulphates and
nitrates is extremely so nbie in water,
and while very valuable is liable to be
washed out of the soil if applied too
heavily or before the plants are ready
to hike it up. In this form nitrogen
should be applied after the crop begins
its growth, and is thru at once taken up
by the plants while the organic nitro
gen may or may not be used up by the
crop., depending on whether conditions
are favorable for the changes it must
undergo before it becomes entirely
available.
SOURCES OF PHOSPHORIC ACID.
The phosphoric acid of commercial
fertilizers occurs in three forms: "solu
ble," that is that which is easily taken
up by plants because readily soluble in
water; "reverted," or that which is
insoluble in water but readily used by
plants, and that which is soluble only
in strong acids and therefore is taken
up very slowly by plant All throe of
these forms are derived from materials
called phosphates, "Organic” phos
phates are those containing organic or
animal ma'ter; "mineral” phosphates
are those which contain no annual mat
ter. Of the former, bone in its various
forms is the chief source. Of the hitter,
tlie river and laud phosphates of South
Carolina, the “soft," "pebble” and
“rook” phosphates cf Florida, the mine
phosphates of Tiiniiitssoo, are those with
which we are not familiar. The "min
eral" phosphates are insolublo and i
have to be treated and acted upon
strong acids before they become availa
ble as plant food. They are first ground
to powder and then mixed with strong
sulphuric acid, which changes the in
soluble phosphoeio acid to the soluble
form—they then become "superphos
phates." This name is applied to any
material containing soluble phosphoric
acid as its chief element, and of course
those containing the greatest amount
are the most valuable. The “soluble”
distributes itself in the soil and goes to
the ro< ts of the plants while the “re
vertou” remains where it is placed and
tlie roots of the plants must oome to it.
An important fuel to remember is that
phosphoric aeid is not washed from the
soil; it becomes "fixed” by combinations
with lime, iron and other mineral sub
stances Bono or "organic” phosphates
are more valuable than the "mineral,"
because of their greater tendency to de
cay. and because they may he used di
rectly on the soil without other treat
ment than the grinding necessary to
make them more easily available. The
liner this grinding the more valuable
the product, because very fine ground
bone is more easily acted on by tho
forces which causo it to decay and
thus it becomes more quickly available.
Another fact which adds t i tho value of
bone phosphates is. that they contain
considerable nitrogen. Pure "rawboue”
usually averages about per cent of
phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of nitro
gen. In "boiled” or “steamed” bone
not only is the bone made finer, but it
is softer and acts more quickly than if
it is merely ground. By boiling or
steaming the per cent of nitrogen is re
duced, while the phosphoric acid is in
creas 'd, "steamed” bone ii therefore
much richer in phosphoric a id than
raw boue. "Tankage” is a bone pro
duct which contains considerable nitro
gen. The amount is variable, depend
ing upon the proportions of boue aud
meat used in its preparation. “Tank
age" is not used as much as bone. Of
the other phosphates derived from bone,
“bone black,” "bone ash,” etc., are
much less valuable than the forms al
ready mentioned. Superphosphates
made from animal boue contain nitro
gen iu addition to phosphoric acid, and
are therefore often called "amwoniated
superphosphates.”
